I'm joined on this episode by city slicker turned farm girl Jenny Hendricks, who shares her incredible journey from being sickly, weak, and on the path to Death's Door, only to discover the power of eating as nature intended, which not only healed her various illnesses, but has also allowed her to make her life's mission helping others with seemingly undiagnosable ailments.

* How Jenny uses kettlebells to stay strong, limber, and lean for her long and arduous days working on her farm

Riddle me this, friendo: How is it that old school strongmen in the 1800s and early 1900s managed to set a wide array of strength records that still stand TO THIS DAY - despite:
Shorter lifespans More life-threatening diseases Inadequate medical treatment More expensive and often lower-quality foodAnd a litany of other seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their path?
The answer: they had a method.
I reveal this method in part on this short but riveting episode. Tune in, chill out, and enjoy.

I'm joined on this episode by athletic coach and fitness revolutionary Dave Daglow.
In this episode we talk all about Dave's back story - from up-and-coming athlete to severely injured and in desperate need of figuring out how to put himself back together again.
From this humble beginning, he came to a series of startling realizations about his own body, that of other athletes, and the entire notion of exercise as we think about it - and from there he set out to get people back in touch with their TRUE athletic nature, one mover at a time.
